(it’s Amilla, formerly the Rev
The former me is dead)
The Potter’s still forming me, orderly
The father of forgery has orphaned me ‘cuz I aint choosing destruction
Now I spit for the dudes who I used to get drunk with
I pray they’re faced with good revelations
Now I got my face in the book of Revelation
(Yo Cuz, put the bass in elevation
You can change your destination
Since ’09, since 09’)
Denyd inspired what I wrote down
Still got my flow down
Still happen to think Endo is the “baddest” rapper out of O-Town
But talent isn’t everything
There’s a challenge to bring balance between good character and the craft
Defeating arrogance is an art
And the chisel is in the hand Yahweh the Lamb aka the Man on the Cross
Since the womb I’ve been diabolic
Now I’m in shock like hydraulics of the higher calling I’m involved in
I want to share it with ya, so take a glance at Scripture
Lend me an ear to listen– revere the Wisdom
Of His intangible lyricism–miracle heroism
To spare His Heir and sit Him at His right hand in the kingdom
Here is a just a mirror of it, just kidding
There it’s incomparable so–
I’m just here to visit¬–pilgrim in a land of snitches
Bandages and stitches can’t fix this sin
It’s a matter of the Spirit’s business
And He works in accordance with man’s decisions
I’m not going to knock on your door and visit
But as far as Jehovah goes, I am a witness
(There’s a difference, though it’s difficult to see
It’s the same devil– difference cult)
I had a conversation with a dark angel
He said “God hates you– oh and you’re fake too”
He told me to quit rapping– “it isn’t worth doing”
Then I asked Him why he does so much work through it
He didn’t answer– He just switched the subject
He told me to hit the pub to sip and rock my kicks in public
I couldn’t shut him out
I gave him a James 4:7 and he shut his mouth

I wish ya’ll could hear what I hear
And read what I read
I wish ya’ll could feel what I feel
And maybe you could see what I see
I see what I see
‘Til I’m not here–then I got to be who I be
Sink my feet in the sand and I’ll breathe in the sea
I’m trying to be free, but diseases in me–
Keep me from delighting in the heat of the breeze
Long nights– heart is freezing in grief, and I’m easily beaten–
By my own eagerness to be freedom-less
I need a lift– I’m feeling sick
A needle prick of healing if it’s not dipped in deceitfulness
So I can spit the real deal to the people–
That are curled up in the fetal–
Position looking at world through a peephole
And it gets foul like a free throw
So I want to aim to the sky
Eyes wet like the rain in the sky
When pain’s on the rise
It’s by grace that– it’s by faith that
The world’s going to vanish
The earth aint got a thing for me
I’m not even made for this planet
So I don’t care what they think of me
The majority of the world thinks poorly
So I can’t let the world think for me
I strive for the King’s Mind
I Pray they picture Him when they think of me
I heard the Voice of Truth for years
But I was drowning Him out
In fear and a bottle– drowning in doubt
‘Til I saw God’s face when I was down in the south
Faith found in the south– felt strange coming back up
I “scrapped up” with my past ways
And the fact was, I was training my tongue
You can say that I changed how I rapped
Battling that guy in the mirror
But I’d rather see Christ in the mirror
Because sin was dominant
Blessed now disarming it since an ex-slave found rest like an ottoman
God opened up my chest like a cardigan
The Best part of it is that I’ll never have that heart again
It’s softened but it was dark and hardened then
God pardons sins, and that’s the art of it
The world’s going to vanish
The earth aint got a thing for me
I’m not even made for this planet
So I don’t care what they think of me
The majority of the world thinks poorly
So I can’t let the world think for me
I strive for the King’s Mind
I Pray they picture Him when they think of me
Previous to my rebirth I let weed burn
Speech slurred when I speak dirt–deep thirst
I was asleep in that deep curse
Now I’m walking in the Son like my feet burn
‘Til He return, or I’ll leave earth
I’m on the tight path ‘til my knees hurt
Like a t-shirt the Scriptures went over my head
Then I reversed– rehearsing the Word
I’m free, yet I still feel pain
But Jesus had to bleed first
For me to die is to gain
Because I’m a believer
That life is behind me
I kill my pride, lies, greed– murder times three
Now the blind see
Let’s rewind time when light hurt my eyes like high beams
Not the eye on my head, but the eye on my heart
Living life like I’m dead darkness lied in my heart
If my life was a chart, I had Christ on the low with my pride on the top
But God showed me His scars
Without holes in His wrists, there’s a hole in my heart
From the start I was cursed with sinning
Numb to love, but His blood reversed the feeling– healing
I’m never going back to the old me
Death couldn’t hold Him, so death can’t hold me
How will they know or believe if I don’t speak?
So you can’t stop my flow like a beaver with no teeth

I rap with my head up– giraffe spittin’
I’m back in it– surpass limits ‘til I die and I head up
Survive in the wilderness
This isn’t my inhabitants– I battle sin– no pacifist
I put flames to pot like a skillet
Now I’m filled with the Spirit– get chills when you hear it
Get healed when you fear Him– I’m looking at the rays of the sun
The radiance is making me give my praise to the Son
I died to myself, now I got to silence myself
Don’t lie to yourself– the world glorifies self-image
But that’s not my intention
The blind are annoyed at my interests-
Because my eyes see to the point of my existence
No lies– I’m appointed to avoid them
Staying loyal in the Word, so I got to make an imprint
The entrance to the Truth is a narrow gate– hey
But you can’t go back when you pass away
Since my last tape I’ve grown in the Spirit
So you won’t hear my name thrown out in my lyrics
Like, “Amilla’s a track killa that raps illa
Laid back chillin’ wit cats” nah there’s none of that
I’m comin back but I put the mic down
‘Til the time is right but the right time is right now
Open up your mind right now like, “Where would you go if you died right now?”
Because we’re alive right now
Peace to my Denyd fam– ya you see that fine stamp
On my forearm, when I live my hands to the Lord
The war’s on- the world is my warzone
Grip the sword hard so I don’t fall like the floor gone
I got bored with this small world
Now I’m chilling in the Lord’s arms from moron to more strong
I’m growing ‘010’s been a greater year
I was born again and left my flesh waiting there
In a jail cell where the fallen angels shake in fear
Enslaved they hate to hear their case afraid the grave is near
Hey I’m a nuisance to the system
Minimizing distances from truth to a sinner
There’s a crazy big gap between hitting trees like an axe does
Bumping Slim Shady with a fat buzz
The devil tells them it’s the life
But I’ve been there, and the devil isn’t right
There’s no benefit, though these pleasures may seem better
There’s no end of it– it won’t quench a thing
I sparked and blazed J’s on my darker days
Didn’t part my ways with the flames ‘til the day I’m saved
Ya I smoked my brain to a crisp
Rolled ‘em up until I had a pain in my wrist
I never thought this pain would exist
In my mind on my way to hell I’m blazing a game
I’m ashamed that I’m dirt– that’s my spiritual history
Now I spit clean like lyrical Listerine
I can’t stay engaged in the temporary
‘Cuz it’s only by grace that heaven’s in me
I spit about the first and the last
A verse about skill is a verse in the trash
Faith’s confirmed by my actions
Satan’s mad I got the urge to be active
The Lord’s grace is perfect and lasting
That’s why I stand firm with a passion
I turned the Master, of life and design
That’s why I have the urge to be graphic
The hurdle isn’t with the intellect
It’s intense we’re a mess from the sins effect
I put my energy in the enemy
It ended when the heavenly entity had entered me
Everyday is a struggle now
Shield of faith- see these flaming arrows I aint ducking down
I failed so many times on my mission soldier
Still a Christian– spit Jehovah ‘cuz this isn’t over
Satan won a battle but he lost the war
So don’t act like you’ve never seen the cross before
When God says, “Come lay your burdens down”
It’s a new day since Christ turned the earth around
So I want to be lost in His presence
I don’t want to be lost in the present
Tossed in depression
The Boss took the cross so I’ll cross into heaven-ly thoughts let them set in
So I can have the peace from God
I’m a part of Christ’s body– no piece of God
I write rhymes like my life’s on the line
I spit about mine– yo my life’s on the line
Truth is the bait– my life is the line
No call waiting– talk life on the line
Life on the mic– life on the cell
I used to be a slave with my life in the cell
Now life’s what I sell–no weed
The old me is dead– I got no life in my cells
I’m in the well of living streams– water
Crossed the brook of death– now I’m living free
‘Wanna swim in the pages of the good book
But religion is killing a true seeker’s dreams
Truth– it’s killing what it used to mean
Youth- it’s killing who we used to be
These times we are living in
A guy will write a line of sin, and the buyer sniffs it in
And these little kids enticed by the rhymes that are slipping in their intellect
Injected with the death, so I’ll intercept that inner threat
I’m on a different script– eyes on the scriptures kid
Christ twisted my mind around– now I live to witness Him-
In reverence– a fight since the genesis
Pride is the incriment– we die for the sin committed
The world’s blind in submission to the devil
Needs divine intervention or we’ll die for interests
I’m a rebel– if haters ask me how I do it
Take a view of the grave and you’ll see where the proof is
Raised from the dead and the dates are historical
The origin aint just some blind faith in my head
I project apologetics for the Gospel message
Spread it and defend it– we don’t blend in
And I can’t perfect the method-
Or prevent a misconception if I can’t address the question
But it’s not about the knowledge or the power feeling proud-
Nah, It’s the love to get them found– not devoured

It’s not about what you prove
It’s about how you solve it
It’s not about what you do
It’s about who you are
See naturally– man don’t got a brave heart
So we combat to be free like Brave Heart from the bondage of fear
Daily kill the worry– don’t just bury it– send it to the grave and then
If it tries to wake again, send it to its wake again
Today’s language is a fatal trend
A real man won’t engage in it with hating lips then say “amen” after
Disaster– trapped in a world full of clones
Chasing after pleasure– is it worth what we sold?
Discipline is spurned– ignorance is yearned for
We don’t want to learn more our vision is just blurred
Blinded– forgetting that are life here is just a breath
So why not just pucker up for the kiss of death?
It’s not about what you prove
It’s about how you solve it
It’s not about what you do
It’s about who you are
In adversity we lose faith or obtain it
Choose hate and God’s blamed– we’re two-faced when odds are changing
But the curse is the source of the dilemma
So the One who reversed it was tormented by the pressure of the Almighty–
Inflicting punishment of sinister sin clung to the only Living Thing that was literally sinless
God Incarnate got marred straight carnage
Scarred scraped slaughtered– blood loss– great trauma
Crushed sin– pay homage– now its all praise–honor
To Who saves the depraved– now it’s grace not karma
Somebody had to pay
So the Son of Man passed away
If it’s opposed to what you heard, He still rose on the third
A lot of foes learned that it’s not a joke- it’s confirmed
So open the Word
Put your hope in the Word
The Word was with God– the Word was God
There’s life in that verse– Christ is the Word
Bible reads “we are justified by belief”
So now the beast of greed can now resign as your chief if
Truth is your leader– the truth is in Jesus
We can see him– we don’t have to wonder
If we’re cleansed by the blood that bridge the gap
From Deity to humanity God gave His only Son
Though we used to flee Him He’s connected to the broken ones
So now we know He’s Love

I’m on the path that few travel
With beautiful new gravel– my shoes got a new balance-
Because death got a loose grapple
Sipped a few gallons of living water pursuing to move mountains
And few found what I attained- I am saved
Christ the Messiahs name is striving an iron blade in me
Non-physical– sharper than a double edge
Hunting for the dead while we try to make the scriptures known
The pinnacle is the Gospel-
When it aint misinterpreted Satan remains murderous
This age learns from Him
Spurn the gift of grace and embrace a lake that burns your skin like the furnace lit
Yo it’s permanent, but it doesn’t have to be
That’s why I rap to beats with the drastic speech
They laugh at me, and they ridicule
So typical for those thinking that my Master is weak
For the Pharisees-
Don’t diss it ‘til you here it yo- listen to the lyrics flow
It’s faith alone is how a saint makes it home
Break the mold of the world and forsakes the old-
Nature because our Savior rose
But now He’s disrupting the globe– go Rambo he’ll hunt for your soul
Arrow to the narrow path when He tugs on the bow
‘Til the trumpet will blow, or what happen as described in Revelation
A rise in devastation– Hiding cannot save them
Can’t escape the greatest Savior- most amazing judge that will never fade away
Greater days will approach us, if His blood soaks us
Blowing piff is bogus I would rather know Jehovah homie
You laugh it off, but the wrath of God-
Could take half your squad pass them flames before their casket drops

We got answers for the broken
Damaged from the moments hoping someone can just manage what they cope with
Handle their load with clear motives– with no fear hold them
Tell them why they’re living because time here is limited
We live in sin but we designed to be intimate-
With the most high– divine in our image and
I want to cry when I think of this-see-
God feels the same way times infinity
But in between He is just too
He sent His son as a substitute so He wouldn’t have to crush you
There’s no excuse gratifying the evil
Because Christ can sympathize with our weakness
He is the definition of Love but
He hung first, ‘cuz love hurts
Felt the greatest pain, although He aint deserve it
If you know He’s raised your pain got a purpose
I tried to hide my pain
Gave inside my brain and you could cry for days
I’m praying because the souls are perishing
With “O’s” and “Benjamins” –
Not broke but they owe the deficit they can’t pay
I can’t care what a man say- I’m breaking the lampshade
The light shines divine and my plans changed when I let Christ inside
Can’t gaze at the past like I sliced my eye
I fight to die when I awake
My faith annihilates pride and hate– lies and idols break
Until my final take I will taste the vital grace–
Until I escape- flying in the highest place
Life’s a waste unless I carry the cross
It’s a lot of weight, but it’s paying off later on
Storing treasures in Jerusalem- the new one
Where God got a room in it for me
And I do this for His glory– I do it for family
I do it for my crew so my dudes can understand me
Where I’m coming from– where I’m running to
I wonder all the time if you’re coming too
|

I called for a new start– God heard me
It’s begun– it’s gonna’ be a long journey
Now I got the Word in my palm– so dominant
I stay armed with it in case I want to stop early
I war with the flesh- I don’t hold the peace
With the sword of the Spirit- I hold the piece
On the rock when the waves are approaching
Stay connected with the Master like marriage is supposed to be
No photos please- don’t notice me
It matters where my aim is- not what my name is
I used to brag on my vocab
Now it’s on the Light of the World and there’s no match
He’s the best rapper of all time
Speaking time into existence and He don’t have to rhyme
Do you see the signs?
Take His word from the universe and read between the lines
On fire for the most high- bring sight to these closed eyes
I don’t watch time roll by– now watch
I aint doing any favors
Holding back the truth because I’m afraid to be a hater
If I saw my dudes entangled in danger
Would I am to save? If not then I hate them
Dang things change- it just seems like I’m buggin’ ya’ll
Sooner or later you’ll just find out I’m loving
Give you something you can trust in
Unchangeable- embrace the one who made you to attain the unattainable
Explains the unexplainable- it’s crazy He was slain and rose
Displaying He’s the gracious pro
Drink some living water if you got thirst
No lies- this aint a conned verse
I feel like a star when I converse-
With the one who made all stars like converse
Set free from religion
No need to fit in– I’m feeding on wisdom
I used to smoke weed to the beats in my system
Now I’m set free so I’m beating the system
Planting seeds on a mission
I’ve seen Jesus bring thieves to repentance with ease– no henchman
The “t” on the tree he died stands for “triumph”
Where death took a seat so I stand beside Him
He’s the Author and the head of time
Since I’ve known Him it’s been a ride
In life it might seem like ya’ll are ahead mine
But ya’ll don’t know what goes on in this head of mine
The big picture is what I see– I-max with a wide screen
Read the Scriptures if you’re sick of lies you can try that
Or despise facts– feel bad this is real rap
They say the good die young
May I ask what good is?
As a young’n I was told I’m a good kid
I just must of misunderstood it because
I died at the age of 19
And I was dead to begin with- no paradox if you missed it
I’m pointing to the good of the I AM because there’s no good in what I am
It’s not about the flow or delivery
If you listen focus on the one who delivered me
By becoming a person to crush the serpent
I’m swallowing my pride so many times that my stomach’s hurting
And I’ve come to learn that the true path is better
Saying “God can only judge” is true but His wrath is forever
And every bad act is His absence
And that’s where the track ends

No equivalence– no equal symbol
No competition– we are sinful– He is different
Transcendent– transcends demanding a standard we can’t lend
It’s better but Jesus gives us it
The atonement– He finished it
Blow away the sin¬– I guess it’s safe to say He gives us wind
Gives the win– In Him is no limits
And while He’s soul fishing He is in our midst
And His lips is in our fists-
When we grip the Scripts– it’s possible ‘cuz his immanence
God is not optional He’s necessary– unstoppable
Never ready to stop being
Not ceasing to spot Heathens
Dropping peace in a new heart to start seeing
The view of His majesty– Beauty can’t fathom-
The fact that Truth exact is He truly the Master
Spewing out galaxies
Planets stand at His commandments– but foolish humans commit blasphemy
It’s tragic and real– God’s actions prevail
Unchanging and un-wav’ring the Spirit aint done saving
Faithfulness– great is Thy, Christ was slain and died
I was Satan’s pie, now saved am I because the Savior’s mine
The I AM always existed
No one can trick Him– all knowing consistent
Indescribable– I’m trying to describe Him though
Almighty– Most High– Can’t rise
Because nobody else can be perfect
Eternal Three Persons, so He receives Worship
Indivisible King
Innocent criminal getting spit on by His little foes
Even if you’re analytical, you can’t quiz Him though
He invented your intellect– developing its inner strength
The source of all power– the Lord’s a strong tower
Outside time– yet Lord of the hour
It’s frightening– no one is like Him- He does the right thing
He’s the Standard– Holiness– He demands it
How do we get it? He’s the answer
When it comes to history He is the planner– total control
So sovereign– no one is stopping or halting His awesomeness
No darkness in Him– He’s Eternal Light
Gives eternal life so we can serve Him right which ensures delight
Ya you heard it right– Christ reigns!
And He’s taking away all my shame
It’s not tiring riding with Perfection
Prime in His essence– resides in the heavens
His design is a message to tell us more about Him
No doubt we doubt and want to live without Him- why?
Indescribable– I’m trying to describe Him though
Almighty– Most High– Can’t rise
Because nobody else can be perfect
Eternal Three Persons, so He receives Worship
God created the atom from nothing then
God created Adam from dust
Unfathomable exact and actual though
You can’t wrap your mind around it using half of your skull
He manufactured the globe and patrols it
Gives everlasting of hope if you know Him
Christ alone! He is God there is none other
Not undercover, but if He’s undiscovered it’s His love you run from
All roads don’t lead to the same place
If your not saved I suggest that you change faiths
Why Jesus? Well –
He’s the only High Priest with the keys to Hell!
He’s the key to living– believe that He is risen
Receive His free gift and you’ll be forgiven
But then keep repenting
Or else He’ll return like a thief in the night and He’ll see you sinning

The blessed one, you’re precious Mom
Your love has stretched to us and we’re blessed as sons
Raised in a home where the Savior roamed
You made us know He was slain and rose when our age was low
Explained to me right, always sang to me
I’m not afraid in the night, always prayed with me
I felt maximum comfort as a little kid
I wouldn’t want it any different
I just want to voice your importance to me
When I heard your voice in the morning you see
Because the warmth in your soul
I heard compliments of your kindness my whole life
Christ has used you mightily
If your eye can’t see, I can see
There’s a bigger picture here, it’s in His plan
I’m just writing to you mom because you’re my biggest fan
When I was sick you would stick with me
Sit with me giving me the inner peace I needed
When I displeased Jesus
It was you that the Spirit used when He convicted me
In the world you affected me the most
In a positive way in all of my days
Your beauty can’t cease
Though as time goes on I see your beauty increase
I wish the world could know your benevolence
We are so blessed that our family gets the best of it
You’re extremely patient when I’m not
I love the fact that you’re my mom
Loving you isn’t hard for me
You’re my best friend and you’ll always be a part of me

I’m going in– the flows for your benefit
Provoke your souls medicine–bro– for no perishing
I’m chosen– no measurement-
Can explain the range of change of how these chains broke– no metal links
It’s making nymphos go celibate
And those who expose skin show pro etiquette now
Since the King came down-
Was tortured to sport a crown of thorns then rose again
His quotes are more potent than a blowfish in the ocean
And I know it– I’m devoting just to soak it in
He atoned for men, and I know He did
So I’m born again and my soul is what I’m owing Him since
I was enlisted to the dark
Now I’m bright– put your ear to mine and listen to my thoughts
Talk about a failure– I’ve been one
Now I’m in a war that’s already been one
It’s been fun but the walk’s hard
Either worship God or the world that He walked on
I used to hate truth in the past tense
That’s it– now I hate truth when it’s absent
Everyday is closer to death
On the stairway to heaven take notes from the steps-
Of the firstborn Son
Hope your not uniformed of the unformed one JESUS
The only pride-diminisher
Descended for my sins, so I rhyme to lift Him up
No guy is similar– Christ died for sinners
We distinguish Him was different than lies of religion
Other prophets can’t touch Him
My God could take Allah of the Quran in His palm and straight Crush him
He’s the start and the finish– talked stars in existence
The Boss of the cosmos– caused the beginning
Giving lost ones repentance
If you don’t want Him you get charged no comma or pause to your sentence
It’s that raw– real un-mythical
We fall when we feel invincible
But God’s wisdom is infinite–yup
I’m just a limited sinner did pitiful stuff
I’ll admit it to you– up in smoke
Drunk– ducking po’s
Blunted trunk bumpin’ yo– “it was nothing though”
I wasn’t cutting coke-
But in my mind it was fine ya’ll like “where is the line drawn?”
Like a ruler
Without the Ruler I’m polluted
Substituting booze for amusement– not choosing truth
Assuming fake things– I’m thinking of the future
And I can’t change the past so I don’t think how I used to
Woke up like a rooster– got up like a booster
Tight grip on the idols– in the end I will loose them
